Dear friends, clients and collaborators of BLIC productions,
I have decided to no longer operate under the name of BLIC productions. I will instead offer my services under my own name – Andreas Krätschmer.
I noticed that much of the work I created within BLIC productions has been closely associated with my name by most of you. So from now on I won't be putting some company name between who I am and what I offer. So, welcome to andreaskratschmer.com!
What does that actually mean for you? Not much. Other than the name change, everything stays the same. I will still be offering the same full video production services including HD video shoots, post-production, corporate video, music videos, documentaries and branded content, specialized in videos for small companies, organizations and artists.
I am situated in Toronto now, but I still offer my services in Montreal and the province of Quebec.
I will as well continue to work as a freelance video editor, camera operator and director for other production companies.
So, I am excited to launch this new web site that gives a broader idea of my creative output and the services I offer. Please feel free to take a moment and browse through the content. The tour starts on the home page: andreaskratschmer.com 🙂
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

1994: Canada's first paint stewardship program is established in B.C. Encorp begins to recover and recycle deposit-bearing beverage containers.
2004: The province's Recycling Regulation sets in motion a requirement for industry to take stewardship over its products from production to end of life.
2005: Province scraps Metro's plan to build a landfill at Ashcroft.
2007: B.C. government introduces an electronics recycling program on a phased basis.
2009: Metro's Tipping Fee Bylaw comes into effect July 1. It formalized existing disposal rates and restrictions on materials delivered to Metro Vancouver transfer stations and the Waste-to-Energy Facility (WTEF). It prohibits from disposal and adds a surcharge to: agricultural waste; automobile parts and bodies; biomedical waste; refuse that is on fire, smouldering, flammable or explosive; hazardous waste; inert fill; liquids and sludge; metal household or commercial appliances; dead animals; excrement; barrels and drums in excess of 205 litres; radioactive and reactive waste; and objects exceeding 2.0 metres in length.
2010: On Jan. 7, the province approves a 42-hectare expansion for the Cache Creek dump just days before Metro Vancouver is set to pitch its plans to introduce trash incinerators in the region. The proposed $100-million project will provide another 12.6 million tonnes of garbage capacity, adding a lifespan of 17 to 25 years to the dump.
On July 1, the electronic and electrical product category of the provincial Recycling Regulation is expanded to include audio-visual and consumer equipment; thermostats; cellphones; and, residential fluorescent lamps.
On July 31, Metro says it will continue investigating burning its garbage — but it won't necessarily happen in the region.

2012: On July 1, the small-appliance program is expended to include electrical items such as power tools, sewing machines. Outdoor power equipment such as electric lawn mowers, chainsaws, and grass trimmers are covered, and lighting is expanded from residential-use fluorescent lights and tubes, expands to all residential-use lights, including incandescent and halogen products, and fixtures including table lamps, chandeliers, and flashlights.
2014: May 19 is the date the Multi-Material BC, an industry group, must start a comprehensive residential recycling program for packaging and printed paper, likely as part of the blue-box system.
2015: Metro Vancouver deadline for increasing the proportion of waste diverted from disposal to 70 per cent from the current 55 per cent.
2020: Metro Vancouver deadline for increasing the proportion of waste diverted from disposal to 80 per cent.

While Russia's submarine fleet remains a formidable force in the 21st Century, the country still relies on craft built before the Iron Curtain lifted. Today, a lot of the subs are getting long in the tooth. However, the new SSBN Yury Dolgoruky will provide Mother Russia with a fresh set of nuclear fangs.
The SSBN Yury Dolgoruky was designed by the Rubin Marine Equipment Design Bureau. It is both the first new Borei Class and the first sub constructed since the fall of the Soviet Union. Construction began in earnest way back in 1996. But there were budget constraints, and multiple redesigns (due in part to the failures of new ballistic missiles being developed in tandem with the sub). So it didn't launch until 2008.
Once it was in the water, the SSBN Yury Dolgoruky easily passed its sea trials. It entered active duty last July, at 557 feet long, with a 44 foot beam and 32-foot draught. Submerged, it displaces 24,000 tons and keep its 130-member crew underwater for up to 100 days. A single ОК-650В nuclear reactor powers a pump-jet propulsion system—another first for Russian subs. This allows the sub a top speed of 29 knots while operating more quietly than conventional screw propulsion.
This $890-million sub also features a hydro-dynamically efficient hull coated with anechoic material. This reduces the sub's acoustic signature much the same way that the skin of a Stealth Fighter reduces the plane's radar signature. In the event of an emergency, the Dolgoruky incorporates a floating rescue chamber that can accommodate the entire crew.
The SSBN Yury Dolgoruky also carries enough armarment to start World War III and IV. It's outfitted with 16, 45-ton Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM)—a derivation of the Topol-M ICBM developed at the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology. Each SLBM employs multiple warheads, and each of those can carry a 100-150kt nuclear payload. According to an RIA Novosti report, it could add up to a total payload of 600 nuclear warheads per sub.
Even if a missile defense system spots and counters these projectiles, they've still got a good chance of hitting their target. These three-stage missiles measure 40 feet in length and are tough enough to withstand a nuclear countermeasure as close as 500 meters without failing.
Other subs had better stear clear of the Dolgoruky as well, lest they meet one of a half dozen RPK-2 Viyuga missiles, firing underwater from a 533-mm torpedo tube at Mach .9. It things really get ugly, the sub can drop a a 90R nuclear depth charge.
Two additional Borei subs—SSBN Alexander Nevsky and SSBN Vladimir Monomakh—are currently under construction with another five ready by 2020. With this bristling offensive capability, the Borei class is expected to become the backbone of the Russian submarine fleet.

by Tim Young, KF15, Senegal
It is difficult to believe that more than three months have passed since I first arrived in Senegal to begin my Kiva Fellowship. During that time I have travelled from the desert to the sea; I've met borrowers who are farmers, retailers, tailors and fishermen. Some have been asking for tiny loans to start their first micro-enterprise, others for commercial-sized loans to continue funding the growth of their successful businesses. All have been inspiring. I have a new golden rule for Kiva Fellows: Exspecta inexspectata! (That's right; don't try and spin a blog post around a latin quote – people will think you're an idiot or worse!)
Here are a few observations from the coalface:
1. Kiva Borrowers genuinely enjoy being part of Kiva
One of my first jobs on arriving here in Senegal was to give a training session to UIMCEC staff on how to implement the Kiva programme in their various offices. The question that exercised most of my time was: how to persuade people to sign up as Kiva Borrowers? Every experience since then has taught me that my efforts here were completely unnecessary.
Of all the potential Kiva clients I have met, not one has said no. In part this is due to the eloquence of the loan officers, who know their clients exceptionally well and are able to enthuse about the work that Kiva and UIMCEC are doing in partnership. In part I think it is because the people here are disposed to help each other and to believe the best of others. They have also witnessed first-hand the benefits that microfinance bring and are happy to support and promote their sponsors. But also they love the idea of Kiva as much as we do. "I am honoured to be chosen for this programme" one woman told me, sitting proudly beside her boxes of incense and perfume. I was honoured to take this photo:
2. Kiva Borrowers are endlessly innovative
On one memorable visit near the coastal city of Mbour I met a farmer who had decided to do something different and had asked for a loan to support his new venture. New ventures are inherently risky. It was financed by Kiva.
I was taken out to visit the project on a donkey cart. In an area where all the other farmers were growing low value millet, this Borrower had bought a hectare of land, sunk four wells for irrigation and planted a complex variety of crops; from mango trees to aubergines, each arranged in such a way as to compliment the others. "These are high value crops" he tells me. "Why should I grow millet like everyone else?". With the profits he plans to start breeding expensive sheep to sell to civil servants; Senegal's equivalent of a middle class.
3. The Senegalese work hard
"I am a man in a hurry", Amadou confides in me as we stride through the streets of Mbour in the dusty light of a Senegalese evening. "There is so much to do here, there is no time to waste". Amadou is expressing a theme I have often heard repeated in my time here. In order to develop and catch up with the West, the Senegalese feel that they need to work as hard as Westerners do, and then some. Amadou is in the office before 8 am every day, rarely leaving before 7 pm, often later. This is not unusual for UIMCEC staff whose appetite for work seems unbounded. When I try to explain to them that I do not want to work on Saturdays because I am a visitor and I want to see some of the country, they look at me askance.
4. They can because they think they can
During Kiva Fellows training in San Francisco, a lot of time is spent talking about humility. In the field you learn what this means. Today I met a young woman, 22 years old and recently married. She was looking for a loan to purchase a freezer to make and sell ice, a valuable commodity here in the steamy south. Thinking ahead she is looking to a time when she will need to support her children through school and possibly to support elderly parents as well. She wants to be well established by then. She is 10 years my junior. She hasn't benefitted from the education that I have enjoyed. There is no social security to help her if she falls. She is thrilled to be asked to be part of the Kiva programme. She is innovative. She works hard.
Tim Young is currently a Kiva Fellow working with UIMCEC, one of Kiva's partners in Senegal. When he was 14 he achieved his lowest ever academic grade, in latin, and was forced to give it up. He has been trying ever since to prove that he can use it because assiduus usus uni rei deditus et ingenium et artem saepe vincit. However he has to confess that if it wasn't for the internet, there would be no latin in this post at all, because he is relying on various websites to provide him with motivational quotes that he otherwise would not understand. If there are any latin scholars reading this post then Tim apologises to you unconditionally for his brutalisation of the language. And encourages you, and all others, to support an UIMCEC borrower by joining our lending team on Kiva at: http://www.kiva.org/team/tafftaff. Gratias e salve!

This isn't just an Admiral Ackbar suit. That would be too easy. This Admiral Ackbar cosplay outfit is part-man, part-Mon Calamari and part-robot.
Artist, sculptor and costume builder Tom Cuthbert is the genius behind (most of) this costume, which features an animatronic suite (installed by Daniel Valdez) in the head to power the Alliance Admiral's eyes, made even more impressive by the fact it's powered by the wearer's facial motions.
You can see the suit in action at this year's DragonCon here, while there are more shots of the outfit below.

11 Natural Treatments For Depression
That said, clinical depression sucks, and if you're someone who suffers from it, my heart goes out to you. I'm in no way intending to diss anti-depressants or suggest you ignore your doctor's advice. I know anti-depressants can be life-saving for people. But unless you're suicidal or otherwise in dire need of urgent medication, before you dose up on side-effect laden pharmaceuticals, it's worth considering some natural treatments that might help lift your mood.
How To Treat Depression Naturally
1. Consider why you might feel depressed. Sometimes depression is a symptom of something circumstantial in your life, rather than biochemical imbalances. Does your job require you to sell out your integrity every day? Have you been unable to admit that you need to end your marriage? Are you feeling spiritually disconnected or sexually restless? Are you suffering from creative blocks? Is your body failing you? Are you facing financial ruin? Be honest with yourself about what might be off-kilter in your life, and make an effort to get to the root of why you might be feeling depressed.
2. Move your body. Exercise releases happy-making endorphins, which act like natural anti-depressants. Runner's high, anyone?
3. Never skip a meal. Keeping your blood sugar stable reduces mood swings.
4. Eat a serotonin-enhancing diet. Many anti-depressants like Prozac act by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin by receptors in the brain, thereby increasing serotonin levels. But you can increase your brain's serotonin levels by eating foods that boost your serotonin levels naturally.
Serotonin-enhancing foods include:
- Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids (such as wild salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and anchovies, which are even higher in omega-3 fatty acids than other fish)
- Healthy fats like coconut oil
- Eat a high protein diet, especially proteins high in tryptophan, like free range turkey
5. Avoid caffeine, which reduces serotonin levels. If you need an energy boost, supplement with L-Tyrosine (500 – 1000 mg).
6. Expose yourself to sunlight, which can boost mood and increase Vitamin D levels. If you live somewhere that gets little sun, invest in a therapeutic light box.
7. Try mood-enhancing supplements: (DISCLAIMER: Although you can get these supplements over the counter, I always recommend doing this under the care of a physician, since supplements can have side effects and risks and can interact with other medications.)
- 5-HTP 50-300 mg up to three times/day — start at 50mg in the morning. Converts directly into serotonin. If you are taking too much, you will feel sleepy or have runny stools. Also usually helps with anxiety, although sometimes it can paradoxically cause anxiety. Must use with great caution if you're taking an anti-depressant.
- St. John's Wort 300mg three times/day. If you don't feel better within a week, slowly increase your dose to a max of 600mg three times/day. May decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills.
- SAMe 200mg on an empty stomach twice/day. Increase your dose every two weeks to a maximum dose of 600mg twice daily. This can be a very effective antidepressant, but it can also be expensive. Side effects at higher doses include GI upset, nausea, agitation, and insomnia.
- L-Theanine 100-600mg daily. Reduce if you feel sleepy. Found in green tea.
- Fish oil (DHA/EPA) 1-3 g/day with food.
8. Meditate or try guided imagery. Meditation's effects on mood are well documented. Settling your mind can lift your mood, in addition to a whole host of other health benefits.
9. Get your hormones balanced. If your thyroid, adrenal or sex hormones are out of whack, your mood can get all wonky. See a good integrative medicine doctor and ask them to order and interpret the following tests:
- Thyroid gland tests – TSH, free T4, free T3, total T3, thyroid antibodies
- Adrenal gland tests – cortisol, DHEA-S, pregnenolone
- Sex hormone tests – estradiol, progesterone, free and total testosterone
10. Make efforts to bolster your mental health by being more authentic in all aspects of your life. Too often, we walk around wearing masks, pretending to be something we're not. We fake it at the schoolyard, in the boardroom, in the bedroom, at church — and then we wonder why we wind up depressed. Practice letting your authentic freak flag fly and watch how your mood lifts.
11. Talk it out. See a therapist, psychiatrist, or life coach and express how you feel. Sometimes just finding someone you trust who will help you work through your feelings can make all the difference in the world.
If all else fails and you need anti-depressants, don't beat yourself up. Sometimes you can do everything right, and if your imbalance is biochemical, you may need the drugs. But don't forget to nurture the rest of you too. Depression, like most physical and mental illnesses, is multifactorial and requires a global investigation of your whole health — not just your mind and body, but your relationships, your work, your financial picture, how you express yourself creatively, how you satisfy yourself sexually, your environment, and whether you're letting your Inner Pilot Light (aka authentic self) shine.

A string of letters doesn't necessarily make a morpheme simply because more than one word starts with it. eg. "Fresh, free, freckle" don't start with a morpheme 'fre', but "freedom, freeman, freeloader" do start with a morpheme, "free".
Moving to the non-English words, -vert, (to turn) -mit, (with) and -ceive (?), we do get an idea that they have similar meanings.
Consider "conceive, receive, perceive". 'ceive' appears to mean "getting something" a conception is something you get in your mind; reception obviously related to receiving/getting; perceive is to get something through perception, etc. So that is a separate morpheme.
Is there a difference between the texts that I've missed, and that you think is important. Or any follow-up question?
There's sometimes a bit of guessing you have to do. Whereas 'mor' is not a morpheme, 'mort' is, as in, 'mortuary, 'mortician', 'mortified'.

Every time I sit down to eat at a restaurant, it's the same dilemma: Should I choose what I want or order vegetarian? Sometimes I'm lucky and what I want is meatless. But if what I really want is the boeuf bourguignon or the veal pepperonata, I squirm, caught between moral horror, my taste buds and a desire not to be the "weird" vegetarian. I'm 38, and I have been engaged in this internal war, off and on, for nearly 20 years. I have been a vegetarian, semivegetarian and old-fashioned carnivore. Right now, I eat everything — but with a pervasive sense of unease. I thought my dilemma would get clearer over time — that my sense of what's right, at least right for me, would have naturally evolved toward some conclusion. But it hasn't. I'm more torn than ever.
In the beginning, I must confess that I was motivated more by a concern for calories than animals. When I went to college, everyone assured me that I would inevitably gain 15 pounds. I was so freaked out, I started cutting calories (and thus avoiding meat) the minute I hit campus. But it sounded better to say I was a vegetarian than that I was obsessed enough with my weight that I'd give up an entire food group. I lost 10 pounds and became addicted to the attention ("You're so skinny. I hate you!"), along with the moral superiority our fat-hating culture affords the thin. If my diet saved animals, all the better.
Not that I didn't take a certain amount of flak. Non-vegetarians don't like to have vegetarians to dinner. The first Thanksgiving home from college, my family worried — irritably — over what I was going to eat while everyone else ate turkey. (They settled on lobster stuffed with crabmeat. I didn't have the heart to tell them that wasn't strictly vegetarian, either.) Friends didn't appreciate forgoing pepperoni on their pizza because one person in the group — me — couldn't eat it. And there was a certain wacko label that went with the whole thing. Once, at a party, when I took issue with a guy who had made a hideous racist comment, I overheard a friend whisper to him, "She's a vegetarian," by way of explaining my liberal tendencies.
Learning to love meat
But it was a boyfriend who prompted my first flip-flop. He was from Italy and had a fine palate and a certain civilized insistence on eating well that felt healthy and appealing, especially to someone like me who was perennially flirting with an eating disorder. When we moved in together, I began eating everything, particularly the stuff I'd really missed: the sausage and pepperoni that had been staples of my Italian-American diet growing up. He also introduced me to new delicacies such as ribs, roasted Italian-style, with a mere sprinkle of salt, olive oil and fresh rosemary. They were tender and aromatic, like something that had been cooked over an open fire for days rather than for a few hours in our broiler. They were so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I'd put down my fork with deliberation, only to pick it up again and decimate what little remained on the platter.
I learned to love meat again. I felt slightly guilty, but my boyfriend's approval was ample compensation. It didn't help that we lived in Chicago, chock-full of ethnic neighborhoods and the restaurants that go with them. We ate sausages and meat dumplings in the Polish neighborhood, schnitzel at a German place and pork vindaloo from local Indian spots. The way I ate didn't make people uncomfortable anymore. Plus, I just plain liked the taste of meat. I accommodated the extra calories by stepping up my running regimen.
The boyfriend lasted less than a year, but he changed my relationship with food. I could see that there was a lot to be said for the Italian way of eating: consciously, inclusively and with loving attention to the nuances of flavor. So you'd think I'd simply decide I was an omnivore and be done with it. I tried, for a while. But untethering my calorie obsession from meat ended up making room for the bigger, knottier issue I'd only dimly considered before — namely, the animals. Although I'd always been a dog lover, I never felt any special affinity for cows and sheep. But somewhere along the way (probably from the Italian boyfriend), I'd picked up a smattering of information about cuts of meat and where they came from. Increasingly, when I looked at a piece of beef on my plate, I no longer saw the calories I'd have to jog off the next day. I saw something that looked unnervingly like flesh — flesh not all that different from my own. This tugged my mind to uncomfortable comparisons. Skinned and butchered, how different would I look on a plate? How different was this piece of meat from me?
On again, off again
I didn't know. But the idea bothered me enough to launch myself back into vegetarianism, at least sporadically. One week, I shunned meat; the next week, I'd salivate nonstop over the idea of pepperoni until I broke down and bought a stick, devouring it in one sitting. Or I'd sit across from someone who'd ordered a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and my childhood memories — and taste buds — would overtake all reason. The next month, I'd be on the veggie wagon again, only to cave to pressure at a family dinner and eat my mother's Easter rib roast. Part of it was, again, not wanting to be the squeaky wheel. (My mother is a big eye roller.) But there was a larger issue, one that was even tougher to resist: I craved the taste and couldn't imagine never eating these things again.
Meanwhile, in the science journals I read as part of my work as a health journalist, I noticed a small but burgeoning trend in research on the sentience of animals. Fish may feel pain. Sheep could distinguish the faces of their peers — and even human caretakers — from strangers. Cows suffered anxiety. Chickens were able to utter different calls to communicate the ups and downs of life.
I also read about Temple Grandin, Ph.D., a high-functioning autistic woman and leading expert in animal science at Colorado State University at Fort Collins. Grandin creates techniques that make the slaughtering process less stressful for the animals. In addition to being less disturbing for the cattle, these procedures also improve the market quality of the meat, which can be affected by increased stress before slaughtering.
Grandin's methods have been lauded for making the process of slaughtering cattle more humane. And I'm sure they have. But the need for them made me feel even worse. Clearly these are not dumb, insensible creatures who are oblivious to whether they live or die. Quite the reverse. Does it matter that they can't think their way through a tricky calculus problem or write a symphony? I couldn't help but empathize with them. Because wouldn't I, too, feel hysteria if I knew my seconds were numbered? What made me so different from these animals? I wondered.
The moral argument
We relegate thoughts about the creatures we eat to about the same space we give to any crisis halfway around the world that we feel we can't understand or have a direct impact on. We don't like to think about it because there's so little we feel we can do about it. We make assumptions that negate the pain and suffering (at least in the case of the animals) and absolve ourselves of responsibility in preventing or relieving it. Just because we turn our back on the situation doesn't mean it isn't there anymore. But what is our responsibility? Or, at the very least, what is mine? Much as I try to ignore the question and dig in, it haunts me whenever I eat meat. Worse, it has left me with the somewhat horrifying conclusion that I am a vegetarian morally but not in practice, the exact reverse of where I started.
It would be nice if I could find a way to let myself off the hook, to say that I'm not cut out for vegetarianism, that maybe my body requires meat. But I don't believe that's true. That would presume real vegetarians, by some fluke of biology, have an easier time of it. But I have sat across from too many vegetarians tucking resignedly into a plate of steamed vegetables in lieu of the evening's meaty main course to believe that commitment comes without a price. Instead, I choose guiltily between the filet mignon and the chicken, wishing I possessed a stronger moral character.
Of course, I can continue to live a conflicted life, and no one will judge me but me. But though I crave resolution, so far, I am unable (or unwilling) to make the sacrifice. What does this say about me? Am I incapable of exercising empathy when it's inconvenient? Which leaves me to contemplate a particular irony: It is not other people but animals who are forcing me to consider the depth and breadth of my humanity. Every time I pick up a menu.

As Jason Bittel explains in somewhat distressing detail over at Slate, the truth about hamsters and burritos is that hamsters, contrary to what viral videos would have you believe, do not eat little burritos, tiny cakes, or mini pizzas. They eat each other.
Here's the video in question, on the off chance you've been avoiding the Internet since late April:
Sez Bittel:
In the case of this video, we're looking at the species Mesocricetus auratus, more commonly called a golden hamster or a Syrian hamster. Walk into any pet shop in America and you'll find these fluffy little rodents. This is more than a little ironic sincethe International Union for Conservation of Nature lists them as "vulnerable" in their native habitat along the Turkey-Syria border. That's one step above "endangered," FYI.
It's also strange that Syrian hamsters should be popular, considering they're ferociously territorial. If you're going to keep two or more adults in the same tank, they require lots of personal space. The animals have scent glands on their flanks, which they use to mark territory, so it's also recommended that you provide separate food, water, and bedding sources. Fail to give them enough space or resources, and they'll eat each other for fun.
I've seen it.
So basically, the only way the video up top would be even a little bit accurate would be if those burritos were stuffed with little strips of hamster meat. What a nice thought. What's in the burrito, little hamster? WHAT'S IN THE BURRITO?
Bittel gets into more harrowing specifics over at Slate.

It is almost as though the apprehension of the heat has fired up something within me. Dragging my children all over, we won't waste a summer day! I finally realized two days ago that it was very hot. I kind of forgot to complain about the heat, but I think there is still time as it's only mid-August.
We went into the city on the train. It has been a very long time since we walked around nyc. Our three youngest had never been, I think they were shocked at the amount of people there and truthfully so was I. So many crowds, so many smells (bad lol) and our youngest came so close to stepping in a giant poo on the sidewalk. Oye. I was watching him in slow motion and did a running grab to sweep him off his feet. Three cheers for mom! It was all a little overwhelming, I have streamlined my family life so much, it is efficient and organized and chop chop we get where we need to go. The city was too chaotic, I felt tired of it. So yes, I guess I will toss my dreams of being a stock broker or a dancer in the NY Ballet. Kind of like the board game Life...I will retire to the country now, plz.
I guess I am trying to procrastinate my children going back to school, the school routines make me a crazy mess. I like having them here {usually}. It's like we just got a good thing going at home...why do we have to mess it up with school? Oh, bother.

This is why we consider ourselves to be not just suppliers of measurement components but rather more a competent partner that offers comprehensive solutions in close co-operation with our customers – customised and precisely designed products for the exact requirement.
Back to overview
For ventilation and air-conditioning
The model A2G-FM measuring probe measures air velocities and air flows in ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The intelligent design makes for a very easy installation in existing ventilation pipes and ducts.
Based on the pitot tube principle, the probe measures the total pressure (Ptotal) and the static pressure (Pstatic) of the air flow. The probe determines the average air velocity, measured via 6, 8 or 10 exactly positioned sensor openings, depending on the diameter of the ventilation pipes or the length of the ventilation ducts.
The unique shape of the probe enables measurement even at very low air velocities of down to 1.0 m/s. Bevelled inlets to the measuring probe openings provide for a high measurement accuracy, even under unfavourable flow conditions.
In combination with the model A2G-25 air flow meter, this offers the user a very accurate and cost-effective air flow measuring equipment.
In conjunction with the model A2G-100 PID controller, a highly efficient and very easily adjusted air flow control for ventilation and air-conditioning systems can be provided.
The measuring probe is available in two different versions, depending on the requirements and the installation situation.

Of Pasta and Cowboys
You may have heard of Italian stallions (and I knew quite a few during my years of cheffing at Italian restaurants!) but how about Italian cowboys? The marshy areas of the Tuscan Maremma are home to Italy's few remaining traditional cowboys, responsible for herding the enormous native Maremman cattle with their lyre-shaped horns, which may reach 2,500 pounds, over double the size of American Angus cattle! Read about the cattle and the revival of this heritage breed and the cowboys who work with them here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/world/europe/05italy.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=maremma&st=cse.
I'll be taking a small group to visit this fascinating and non-touristy region on my Pasta Lover's Culinary Tour, October 19 to 29. Just 4 spaces left (www.epicopia.com). You'll learn to make your own hand-stretched pasta–the ultimate in flavor and texture. You haven't tasted fresh pasta until you've experienced hand-stretched pasta, a specialty of the region along with game and wild mushrooms.

For a start, just use your ears. Far from a relic, the sound is more alive, full, and frightfully contemporary than ever before. And that's not just our opinion- it's also the opinion of Ken Scott, the music industry great who got his start as the Beatles' recording engineer. Prior to his groundbreaking work with a list of legends including David Bowie, Elton John, Jeff Beck and Supertramp, Scott was in the room when some of the Beatles' classic recordings were being made, and had his hand on the fader when the original masters were created.

The story of the Louisville Orchestra, and the role it played in distinguishing Louisville as a cultural center, is well known. After the Great Flood of 1937, highly sought after conductor Robert Whitney arrived in Louisville to build the orchestra. Despite the devastation left behind by the flood, an impending World War, and economic difficulties stemming from the great Depression, he joined with then-Mayor Charles Farnsley to achieve their shared vision of making Louisville one of the best known orchestras in the world. They did so by focusing on premiering new music, at one point nearly 50 pieces a year, which resulted in their recordings being heard around the world. It worked. The Louisville Orchestra eventually worked with virtually every living composer of note and famously hosted a delegation of Russian composers including Dmitri Shostakovich in 1959, not exactly an easy thing to do in the run-up to the Cold War. Owsley Brown III and Jerome Hiler depicted this transformation in "Music Makes A City", a documentary about the period and Charles Farnsley. Farnsley, who also created the Fund For The Arts, deeply valued the contributions a thriving arts scene could make to the growth of the city. After a limited screening and DVD release, PBS is planning to air "Music Makes A City" nationally.
They may be airing it because the subject matter is relevant once again. As the Louisville Orchestra nears the completion of its first season since emerging from bankruptcy, they are among several orchestras that are either going through bankruptcy or near it, including Philadelphia and Indianapolis. Others have seen musician strikes over pay cuts and shortened seasons. Much like 1937, when the economy was still recovering from the effects of the Depression, the economic downturn has impacted donations and ticket sales.
It was against this backdrop that I attended my first Louisville Orchestra concert at Whitney Hall last Friday night. Cameras were there filming the crowd for footage to air before the movie (no air date was given), and the orchestra drew its largest crowd of the season. That can partially be attributed to the guest conductor, Ryan McAdams. Considered one of the most exciting young conductors in some time, McAdams is a Fulbright scholar and recipient of the Sir Georg Solti Emerging Conductor Award. A native of St. Louis, McAdam is the Music Director of the New York Youth Symphony and a popular guest conductor; recent appearances include the Israel Philharmonic and Los Angeles Philharmonic and future engagements with the Indianapolis Symphony and Opera Theater of St. Louis.

We Smuggle in (and Taste) Burger King's Whopper Chips
It's 8:32 pm on November 21st, the evening before Thanksgiving 2012. My hands, coated in a film of flour and butter, crumble together pie dough on my parents' cold, suburban, marble countertop. While my mom expertly peels and pares a pile of apples next to me, I drift casually in thought and bask in the oven's warm, radiant waves.
It's good to be home.
Suddenly my phone springs to life next to me with a hard rattle and a picture of Slice Queen and dear friend Meredith Smith. My mom and I both look at the agitated phone and then at each other. Normally this situation's a no brainer: The dough comes first and the call goes to voicemail. And besides, I'd never get my hands clean in time to catch it. But this time is different.
Meredith's due back this evening from her trip to the Mexico, and she's bringing with her an important package. I drop the dough and smear the screen with butter.
"Hello?" I stammer into the phone.
After a moment's hesitation she offers an exhausted, "Hi".
"Soo, did they search your bag?" I faux-casually inquire, my palms growing clammy.
There's a pregnant pause before she confesses, "Yeah, they did."
My heart tightens with adrenaline.
"But..." she trails off.
"But, what?!"
"But they didn't find them...I've got two bags!"
I drop the phone, breath returns to my lungs, and I do an impromptu sashay across the hardwood floor. Against impossible odds*, Meredith had done it! She'd flown into the Yucatan under the cover of darkness** and emerged a week later with two bags of these:***
*Actual odds may have been far more favorable than what is expressed here. ** Turns out flight was technically more "midday" than "under the cover of darkness". *** Preceding story inspired by some sort of real life events.
That's right chipheads, Burger King and Ruffles make a potato chip that tastes like a flame-broiled Whopper.
Now before you get as upset as I was that Burger King doesn't sell these things stateside, I need to let you know that they once did. In 2007 they rolled out a flame-broiled chip along with a ketchup & fries flavor. I can only assume that slumping sales drove them away from us into the open arms of the Mexicans. It's a sad reality for us, and I can say with certainty that we are worse off for it.
These chips don't just resemble a Whopper in flavor, they perfectly mimic it. And I don't just mean that you can taste most of the individual components like pickles, mayonnaise, onion, and ketchup (which you can).
I mean that they taste nearly identical to the entire burger.
The sesame bun sits in the background and the American cheese blends seamlessly into that oddly savory beef patty. I know you can taste it from memory as I describe it. And it's all there, with a crunch.
Oddly enough, these chips are sold in Burger King in Mexico, the same place that you can buy an actual whopper with fresh french fries. To complete the circle of confusion, each bag contains a coupon for a Whopper combo.
I can only assume they are targeted at Whopper fanatics who crave that flavor day and night. Even if you wouldn't count yourself among those ranks, you have to marvel at this real life instance where the schnozberries taste just like schnozberries.
Though to be honest I guess we shouldn't be so surprised that Burger King made potato chips taste like a Whopper. They've been doing it to burgers for years.

ElectroFence® 11/48/12 Electric Netting
An effective electrified fence that keeps in sheep, goats, guard dogs and cattle while keeping out deer, coyotes and bear.
How it differs from PermaNet®:
- An extra "live" horizontal strand.
- Lowest live strand is only 4" above the soil (vs 6" for PermaNet).
- Verticals every 12" (vs 6").
- Strutted verticals instead of string. Less likely to sag between posts.
How it's similar to PermaNet®:
The same in all other respects (post size, post spacing, height and conductivity).
Common Uses
Available with positive/negative (Pos/Neg) capability for high resistance fencing conditions.
For small breeds such as Pygmy or Nigerian Dwarf goats use PoultryNet style netting. The tighter spacings are a better deterrent to these species than the wider spaced ElectroStop.
|ElectroFence® 11/48/12
|48" installed
|Horizontal Strands
|11 (10 conductive)
|Vertical Strands
|Plastic struts, spaced every 12"
|Roll Length
|50' or 100'
|Premium Superconductor
|Electrical Resistance
|38 Ω/per 1000'
|Line Post Options
|Single Spike (SS)
Double Spike (DS)
|Line Post Material
|White PVC, 0.75" diameter
|Spike Length/Diameter

|Pos/Neg (PN) Option*
|100' (SS) roll
|Horizontal Spacings
|4", 4", 4", 4", 4", 4", 6", 6", 6", 6"
(from bottom to top)
Each roll comes with 1 Warning Sign and 1 Repair Kit.
* Pos/Neg (PN) fences are recommended where the soil is very dry and/or the animals do not ground well. Two clips are used at each end. One is hooked to the energizer, the second should be connected to a ground rod.
- #204500 - $1.47 per ft (100' roll with single spike posts)
- #204501 - $2.38 per ft (50' roll with single spike posts)
- #204515 - $1.67 per ft (100' Positive/Negative roll with single spike posts)
- #204510 - $1.57 per ft (100' roll with double spike posts)
Tip: When using Pos/Neg fencing, a PowerLink (see Accessories above) is recommended to attach the negative lead to the ground rod.
Note: Weeds must be controlled for ElectroFence to remain effective. Either move and mow as needed during the growing season, or spray herbicide (see photos above) along the bottom strand of the net. If you can't do this, ElectroFence may not be the right net for you.
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier's website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.
Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.
Dry or frozen ground may cause post spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed. We recommend using drivable or single spike posts in hard soils. Double spike posts provide more stability when the ground is soft.
Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Dawn G from California
This fence is wonderful. It is easy to put up and take down. Given our dry, clay type soil; we use the pos/neg during the dry season. I would recommend this product.
Don D from Nebraska
We have used ElectroFence for years with sheep. Now we have no sheep, but find it works really well for our dogs for the past 5 years. It really is great when we go RVing. Dogs are to be kept on a leash which makes none of us very happy. We have had no problems with any park when we put up the fence (1 length) around our rig. The dog gets to 'run' free and we aren't having to keep one hand occupied with the leash. We don't let the dog run in the yard unless we are there with him.
Greg O from Texas
Since we have some very dry spells here in Central Texas in the summers, we purchased the pos/neg version of the 11/48/12 net for our Nubian goats. We've been able to set up temporary foraging areas for the adult does and another area for a doeling who is being weaned and her "companion" doe (not lactating). The most time consuming part of set up was mowing the tall native grass where we wanted to put the fence. The rest of the set-up was quick and easy. This is our first experience with electric fencing, and we couldn't be happier.
James B from San Juan Island
Last year we purchased an electric fence and this year we purchased the ElectroFence® 11/48/12 Electric Netting. Both are very good products. We will be constructing our own electric fence to keep deer out from around a quarter acre of orchard/garden. We will be using the very visible rope/wire, when we are ready. Deer have no predators on this island, except for human hunters..
Stephen L from Indiana
Bought this to make semi permanent paddocks for our sheep. The hardest thing about installation was unrolling the nets. My wife and I installed 300' in less than a half hour. I installed posts at the corners and around a tree and there is little sag in the fence. So far it has kept our sheep in and dogs out.

Zits & Giggles – the incredible climb to #1
Forget Apple's foggy review process. The game, Zits & Giggles which debuted at 0.99$ has surreptitiously climbed to one of the most expensive App Store seats. A short visit to its App Store page will reveal that Zits and Giggles, like a parody movie, is more substance than it is joke. In this case, the substance is philosophical: developer Tommunism have hit a wall: the app isn't selling any more. And with nothing to lose, they are raising the bar – Zits & Giggles' current price of 239$ proves that the sky is the limit. Either that or Apple's ban hammer will fall, forcing the app back down to its humble roots. Part of me cringes at the price, but another part is rooting Tommunism on; enough time and loose enough App Store rules will help Zits & Giggles break the ceiling set by I Am Rich. And if only a handful of customers buy, Tommunism's experiment will go well; even without a single purchase, their app will continue the iconic climb to the top.
Go Tommunism go!

SFMTA Announces Second Round of Taxi Town Hall Meetings
Agency to discuss electronic waybills at meetings in early June
San Francisco—The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which oversees all surface transportation in the City, including the Municipal Railway (Muni) and the regulation of taxis, today announced that it will host a series of town hall meetings on two topics:
1. Using electronic waybills for San Francisco taxis: whether the SFMTA should require electronic reporting based on GPS data instead of the paper trip records currently used by taxi drivers.
2. Peak time taxi permits: whether a new type of permit should be issued for part-time operation of vehicles to increase service during "peak" periods of high demand.
All industry professionals as well as taxi customers are encouraged to attend.
Wednesday, June 1
First meeting: 1 to 4 p.m.
Second meeting: 6 to 9 p.m.
Monday, June 6
First meeting: 1 to 4 p.m.
Second meeting: 6 to 9 p.m.
Wednesday, June 8
First meeting: 1 to 4 p.m.
Second meeting: 6 to 9 p.m.
The first four sessions on June 1 and June 6 will address the use of electronic waybills in San Francisco taxis and peak time taxis; the final two sessions on June 8 will review and summarize input from the previous meetings. Staff will then present a recommendation based on this input to the SFMTA Board of Directors at a future Board meeting.
more – more – more
All meetings will be held at the following location:
1 South Van Ness Avenue
2nd Floor, Atrium
Nearby Muni Routes: 6, 9, 14, 47, 49, 71, F Market, Metro—Van Ness Station
In addition to the town hall meetings, those interested may attend the Taxi
Advisory Council (TAC) meeting at 1 p.m. held on the second and third Monday
of each month at the same location.
The SFMTA will be conducting regular taxi town hall meetings at least once a
month to seek input from all interested parties on ways to improve the taxi
industry. The topics to be discussed at these meetings will be posted in advance
at the SFMTA Web site.
The SFMTA encourages all San Francisco residents and visitors to always hire a San Francisco taxi. Legitimate local taxis are easy to spot by the label "San Francisco Taxicab" on the side and rear of each vehicle as well as by the prominent display of the taxi medallion and the driver's identification. By choosing a San Francisco taxi, customers are assured that they will have a safe ride in a vehicle that has received regular inspections and is properly insured. Customers have the added benefit of knowing that they are supporting their local taxi drivers.
All customer complaints should be reported to 311. For more information about San Francisco taxis, please visit www.sfmta.com/taxis.
Established by voter proposition in 1999, the SFMTA, a department of the City and County of San Francisco, oversees the Municipal Railway (Muni), parking and traffic and taxis. With five modes of transit, Muni has approximately 700,000 passenger boardings each day. Over 35,000 extra vehicles enter San Francisco on any given business day, and rely on the SFMTA to keep the flow of cars, transit vehicles, taxis, delivery trucks, pedestrians and bicycles moving smoothly through the streets.

Playing the Tourist: Pemberley
If one were to walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice I think we can all agree that when one thinks of Pride and Prejudice there is only one destination possible, and that's Pemberley. This is especially beguiling to American readers where we seriously don't have grand manor houses or even castles strewn about the countryside protected by a National Trust. But as Lizzy and her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner clearly show, these great houses were just as beguiling to Brits over two hundred years ago. Because who doesn't like to wander around big beautiful houses seeing famous works of art in a setting that isn't strictly speaking a museum? But the question becomes, where is Pemberley? You could go to Lyme Park, which was the house used in the BBC miniseries, but to me, more known for being used in a season three episode of Red Dwarf, and yes, I know I have weird priorities. Or you could have even bought Wentworth Park fairly recently, where they were claiming that the house's notoriety came from the fact it was the basis for Pemberley. A "fact" that no one has really ever agreed on. But to me I think Pemberley as Austen saw it is most likely Chatsworth.
It's not just that Austen knew of the house and compares Pemberley to Chatsworth that makes Chatsworth a good contender, as well as both real and fictional houses being in Derbyshire, it's also actually been used as Pemberley in the P.D. James continuation Death Comes to Pemberley as well as in the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Matthew Macfadyen. In fact they have the Matthew Macfadyen marble bust still there, though they request that you don't buss the bust. They have a Regency Ball there every summer which I long to be invited to! But even if that doesn't get you excited there is a deal breaker in my mind that makes this great house a must stop, and that's the connection to the Mitfords. Deborah Mitford, one of the famous Mitford sisters, was the Duchess of Devonshire and the family seat is Chatsworth. She not only spent her life surrounded by the literary, but she helped save the house after the tragic death of the heir and went on to make it a thriving business that allowed her to extensively expand the house's art collection with modern masters. So go for your Darcy dream, stay, and you can literally stay on the property, for the Mitford milieu.

eli keszler : cold pin from eli keszler on Vimeo.
New York-based musician and artist Eli Keszler integrates piano wire into his compositions in a way that falls between installation and improvisation. For Cold Pin, motorized beaters controlled by a generative sequence struct 14 piano strings hung across the wall of Boston's Cyclorama in 2011. Keszler then invited Ashley Paul, Greg Kelley, Reuben Son and Benjamin Nelson to play off the work, improvising alongside the randomized clunks, scraps, and bangs emanating from the wall.
His recent L-Carrier at Eyebeam complicated this format by activating the motors in tandem with a changing visual score designed by Keszler. Hosted on a dedicated website commissioned by Turbulence, these images evolved when visitors tripped up "targets" on the site that interfere with the code, modifying the pattern of the motors. On June 7, Keszler again played in a seven piece ensemble in conjunction with the installation, including musicians Ashley Paul, Anthony Coleman, Alex Waterman, C Spencer Yeh, Catherine Lamb, Geoff Mullen, and Reuben Son.
In both compositions accompanying Cold Pin and L-Carrier, the installation serves not as a simple backdrop, but a central element. On their own, the installations continue to have a commanding presence. Unlike the extended resonating tones of Ellen Fullman's Long Stringed Instrument, which meditatively fill a room, Keszler's approach to auditory space reveals his training as a percussionist, where the plucks are akin to hits - busy, feverish and complex. Taken out of an enclosed environment, such as in Collecting Basin, piano wire is not only responsive to the whims of the motor beaters but also the wind and the elements. Here, Keszler hung the wire from a large water tower, transforming an industrial space into an open air instrument.

UTF-8 Encoding and Languages
The Easy PHP Calendar will work with many different languages. The default encoding of the calendar is UTF-8. This is generally the web standard and there are no known issues with the calendar using this encoding format.
It is highly recommended that your pages also be set to the UTF-8 encoding format so that everything will display as expected. However, if you need a different encoding for your pages, in most instances, you can simply edit the calendar settings and change the encoding type to match your requirements. Please note, if you change the encoding format after entering events, the events may need to be re-entered as they were saved in the old encoding format.
In some instances, changing the encoding format of the calendar may not be the best solution and it may not produce the desired results. In this situation, it is best to leave the calendar set to UTF-8 and use built-in functions of PHP to convert the calendar output to your page encoding format.
In this example, the output of the calendar is converted from UTF-8 to Windows-1253 (Greek) to display inside of a Windows-1253 encoded page:
iconv_set_encoding("internal_encoding", "UTF-8");
iconv_set_encoding("output_encoding", "Windows-1253//TRANSLIT");
The key here is to wrap the calendar "require" statements with the additional PHP iconv encoding code (as shown above).
To find and/or change the encoding of your pages (not the calendar), look at the raw HTML and, usually near the top, for the charset:<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
